ghengiscoin | hi | 04:12 |
ghengiscoin | what's the story on firefox fo xubuntu upgrades? | 04:13 |
w30 | ghengiscoin, welcome | 04:13 |
ghengiscoin | thanks w38 | 04:13 |
nanotube | w30: you got a +8 :) | 04:14 |
w30 | ghengiscoin, all I know is I have Firefox 9.0.1 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical-1.0 | 04:15 |
* Unit193 FF11 | 04:16 | |
w30 | nanotube, 8 bit player, ha | 04:16 |
ghengiscoin | hmm - mine is 3.6.24 - when i use apt-get install firefox i get message already at most recent version | 04:17 |
nanotube | ghengiscoin: which version of xubuntu? probably lts or some such? | 04:19 |
nanotube | you could try adding a repository with a more recent firefox, such as firefox-stable, or ubuntuzilla | 04:19 |
w30 | ls -la /usr/bin/firefox | 04:19 |
w30 | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2011-12-28 04:33 /usr/bin/firefox -> ../lib/firefox-9.0.1/firefox.sh | 04:19 |
w30 | ghengiscoin, check and see how you are calling up firefox | 04:21 |
w30 | ghengiscoin, maybe you have both versions installed? | 04:21 |
ghengiscoin | both versions of firefox checking on Xubuntu version | 04:22 |
ghengiscoin | make that both versions of ?? | 04:23 |
ghengiscoin | cmd is firefox with start-up notification | 04:24 |
ghengiscoin | pretty sure I'm running xfce4 not sure how to check | 04:26 |
Unit193 | lsb_release -rd | 04:26 |
w30 | ghengiscoin, with firefox loaded try in a terminal ps aux | grep firefox | 04:26 |
ghengiscoin | Ubuntu 10.10 | 04:27 |
ghengiscoin | i see still calling firefox-3.6.24 | 04:28 |
ghengiscoin | I will try to add a repository | 04:28 |
ghengiscoin | and get back to you all - thanks! | 04:29 |
w30 | ghengiscoin, I run 11.10; I am not familiar with 10.10 | 04:29 |
ghengiscoin | i think it's the latest with xfce desktop | 04:29 |
ghengiscoin | ? | 04:29 |
Unit193 | !fx6 | 04:30 |
ubottu | Firefox 6 has been released as a security update for 11.04. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 04:30 |
ghengiscoin | hmm - so I'm behind the times - but I do have an older laptop | 04:33 |
ghengiscoin | I added the ppa you recommend but it's not updating for some reason - probably needs some time | 04:48 |
nanotube | try also ubuntuzilla - i've been using it to good effect for years. (and i'm partial to it because i maintain it :) ) | 04:52 |
Unit193 | Or try running sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:53 |
gvtmath | that did it - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade downloading now | 04:55 |
gvtmath | say, is it reasonable to donate to the opensource foundation instead of to each org from which I get SW? | 04:56 |
gvtmath | thanks for all assistance - now running firefox 9.0.1 | 05:00 |
gvtmath | good night all | 05:00 |

meco | Do I need a cd to switch from ubuntu to xubuntu or could the entire process be done online? | 10:21 |
PopeJob | you dont need a CD | 10:23 |
Myrtti | no, you just install the xubuntu-desktop package like bazhang told you in #ubuntu | 10:24 |
PopeJob | you only need to install xubuntu-desktop | 10:24 |
meco | Would that be like 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'? | 10:25 |
PopeJob | exactly | 10:25 |
meco | Ah.. | 10:25 |
meco | I was just told this: "from my experience, xfce is no longer more lightweight than regular GNOME (compared to GNOME2, 3 I havent compared)" | 10:31 |
meco | Any comments on that? | 10:31 |
PopeJob | no | 10:32 |
PopeJob | you will be able to choose gnome/unity or xfce on startup. if you want to get rid of ubuntu or xubuntu later on, see here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 10:32 |
meco | Nah, that wasn't the point as I read that text. It basically says that there isn't much to gain with respect to freed system resources by switching from ubuntu to xubuntu. Or am I reading it wrong? | 10:34 |
kclemens | hi guys, anyone knows how to set up cpu frequency scaling properly on xubuntu? | 10:42 |
_Pete_ | kclemens: define properly? for me it works properly out of the box | 10:57 |
kclemens | _Pete_: heres what cpufreq-info gives me | 11:07 |
kclemens | analyzing CPU 0: | 11:07 |
kclemens | driver: acpi-cpufreq | 11:07 |
kclemens | CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1 | 11:07 |
kclemens | CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 | 11:07 |
kclemens | maximum transition latency: 10.0 us. | 11:07 |
kclemens | hardware limits: 800 MHz - 2.67 GHz | 11:07 |
kclemens | available frequency steps: 2.67 GHz, 2.67 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 800 MHz | 11:07 |
kclemens | available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance | 11:07 |
kclemens | current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz. | 11:07 |
kclemens | The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use | 11:07 |
kclemens | within this range. | 11:07 |
kclemens | current CPU frequency is 800 MHz. | 11:07 |
kclemens | cpufreq stats: 2.67 GHz:0.00%, 2.67 GHz:0.00%, 2.13 GHz:0.00%, 1.60 GHz:0.00%, 800 MHz:100.00% (2) | 11:08 |
kclemens | it is not scaling the frequency up above 800 MHz | 11:08 |
kclemens | no matter what i specify with cpufreq-set | 11:08 |

augustl | someone recommended I get a package from the next ubuntu release (precise), namely the erlang package. How do I go about installing that? | 12:49 |
augustl | do I just add precise sources to my sources.list? | 12:49 |
Myrtti | I wouldn't | 12:50 |
Myrtti | it's bound to break stuff | 12:50 |
augustl | I need a erlang version other than R14B02 | 12:50 |
augustl | apparently, it's broken on 64 bit, according to #couchdb | 12:50 |
augustl | is it better if I build my own erlang? | 12:51 |
augustl | building my own ;) | 13:01 |

GridCube | ok, well | 18:03 |
GridCube | i never tried to update-grub from a live session | 18:04 |
GridCube | i don't know if that possible | 18:04 |
liveXubun | this is also first time i've tried it w/ liveusb__man page shows reference to 'update-grub2'__tried that too. | 18:10 |
liveXubun | i noticed that '/boot'grub/grub.cfg' does not exist__can anyone else help? | 18:12 |
GridCube | hey liveXubun what are you trying to do? | 18:15 |
liveXubun | want to completely disable ipv6 on liveUSB | 18:22 |

ubottu | b91: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 19:48 |
JT-oneReb | after updating today I'm having problems with my mouse, can anyone help? | 20:19 |
GridCube | what kind of problems? | 20:20 |
JT-oneReb | Mouse just doesn't work after restarting | 20:21 |
TheSheep | JT-oneReb: anything in the x logs? | 20:23 |
JT-oneReb | I don't know, I'm really limited without a mouse | 20:24 |
JT-oneReb | Today's update was a fairly large one with new grub | 20:25 |
JT-oneReb | I ran the update and restarted the computer and then my problem started | 20:25 |
GridCube | JT-oneReb, tried un-plugging the mouse, and replugin it again? | 20:28 |
GridCube | if its usb it might restart in the moment | 20:28 |
GridCube | if its not then you might need to restart the computer without the mouse and then again | 20:29 |
JT-oneReb | I just unplugged the mouse and plugged it back, not working | 20:31 |
JT-oneReb | it's not a USB mouse | 20:31 |
GridCube | :/ ok | 20:31 |
JT-oneReb | I think that the update screwed things up | 20:32 |
TheSheep | JT-oneReb: is it a com mouse? | 20:32 |
JT-oneReb | yes | 20:32 |
TheSheep | JT-oneReb: if it is, xubuntu has no way to detect it, you need to configure it in xorg.conf | 20:32 |
JT-oneReb | Can you tell me how to get my terminal to open the typical ctr alt t isn't working | 20:33 |
GridCube | alt-f2 | 20:35 |
GridCube | xfce4-terminal | 20:35 |
JT-oneReb | xorg.conf is command not found | 20:42 |
TVasEyes | man 5 xorg.conf | 20:45 |
JT-oneReb | Ok I'm not real sure what that is going to do to get my mouse to work again OMH | 20:50 |
GridCube | JT-oneReb, you need to create a xorg.conf | 20:53 |
GridCube | using x --configure after killing the current session | 20:54 |
GridCube | then you need to add the pointer to the pointers section | 20:54 |
GridCube | if its not there you will need to create it | 20:54 |
JT-oneReb | command not found when I type xorg.conf | 20:55 |
knome | you need to create, not run | 20:55 |
trinikrono | GridCube: i believe you can go on one of the terminals and kill the current x session then run x --configure | 21:00 |
trinikrono | sudo service lightdm stop | 21:00 |
trinikrono | to stop the x | 21:00 |
trinikrono | i believe :D | 21:00 |
GridCube | trinikrono, :) im not the one with the problem, its JT-oneReb, but yeah thats exactly what he has to do | 21:01 |
trinikrono | whoops lol | 21:01 |
JT-oneReb | ok I'll try that | 21:03 |
JT-oneReb | I'm still not real sure about what it is that I'm doing | 21:03 |

eightyape | run all the bios updates as suggested on forums, broken system twice with acerhk | 22:59 |
eightyape | ooh the touchpad on/off hotkey works as well, but not wireless or brightness | 23:01 |
eightyape | cant even change brightness in power manager | 23:03 |
eightyape | have to use xbacklight | 23:04 |
eightyape | from the terminal which doesnt work either- i just found | 23:06 |
eightyape | is generally broken | 23:06 |
eightyape | ???? | 23:08 |
eightyape | anyone got any ideas- just getting the brightness to 100 percent would be a start | 23:09 |
trinikrono | eightyape: why dont you try the 12.04 | 23:12 |
trinikrono | it would have the newest kernel | 23:12 |
eightyape | can you point me in the right direction- had no iidea there was new new version | 23:12 |
trinikrono | eightyape: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/20120123/ | 23:12 |
trinikrono | you would be able to download a iso that you can burn to a cd or usb drive to test it out | 23:13 |
eightyape | are they any further on with embedded intel stuff is the question tho | 23:13 |
eightyape | seems to be centred around that | 23:14 |
trinikrono | well the newer kernels tend to fix things that where broken with older ones | 23:14 |
trinikrono | so its always a good idea to test the latest ones first | 23:15 |
trinikrono | or if you want to go backwards instead to lucid where it might of worked | 23:15 |
trinikrono | 10.04 | 23:15 |
eightyape | yep some folks havent had so many issues with 10.04 bu t the last config from another use with the same comedy laptop was back on 8.04 | 23:16 |
eightyape | can you tell me nthe meantime haow i might set the backlight? | 23:16 |
eightyape | im getting a haedache | 23:17 |
trinikrono | i did a quick google and found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9619735 eightyape see if it helps lol | 23:17 |
xubuntu160 | salve | 23:17 |
xubuntu160 | avrei una domanda da porvi; su un computer lento mi conviene di più installarci xubuntu o lubuntu? | 23:18 |
eightyape | looked at that already, no /video file in my acpi folder | 23:19 |
Myrtti | !it | xubuntu160 | 23:19 |
trinikrono | xubuntu160: xubuntu :D | 23:19 |

trinikrono | eightyape: is somethign wrong with the screen? | 23:20 |
eightyape | file tree just points to what are presumably config files for ac adapter and battery modes | 23:20 |
eightyape | nope its the acpi ok linux really doesnt like it | 23:21 |
trinikrono | wait its a intel 965 | 23:21 |
eightyape | yes | 23:21 |
eightyape | unfortunately | 23:21 |
trinikrono | ouch | 23:21 |
trinikrono | lol | 23:21 |
trinikrono | jut now i did some messing around with those | 23:21 |
eightyape | i managed dto BRIGHT_FILE="/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness"hneg the brightness using that command you posted too but since i reinstalledca | 23:22 |
eightyape | its all gone very wrong | 23:22 |
eightyape | xrightness worked but i set it to ff by mistake not 100 | 23:23 |
eightyape | and the thing dimmed | 23:23 |
eightyape | no iset it and it wont play ball | 23:23 |
trinikrono | are you in the terminal or within lightdm or whatever | 23:23 |
eightyape | seems like at the top of the process tree and first decision the onbaord wants is | 23:24 |
trinikrono | what you can try is to make a manual xorg file | 23:24 |
trinikrono | we needs infos on the xorg intel driver | 23:24 |
eightyape | whteher im on ac or battery and t has two different config folders for both eventualities | 23:24 |
trinikrono | the modes etc | 23:24 |
eightyape | you tell me how | 23:24 |
eightyape | and i will | 23:25 |
eightyape | hang on google might know | 23:25 |
trinikrono | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting eightyape | 23:25 |
trinikrono | if its intel most likely a the x intel driver | 23:25 |
trinikrono | you should really test the latest daily image | 23:25 |
trinikrono | it would have all the intel fixes | 23:25 |
trinikrono | the newest ones | 23:26 |
eightyape | will do | 23:26 |
